Signs warning people not to look directly at the sun are already up at the entrance gates to the Little League International Complex.

With thousands of people expected to turn out for the scheduled games on Monday, Little League plans to hand out about 30,000 eclipse glasses.

Thanks to Visionworks and Transitions, the glasses will be free to everyone at the front gate.

"I think it's a very good thing that they give us glasses," said Ray Thomsen of Washington. "Safety is the number one thing for the kids. We don't want to see anyone getting hurt. It's incredible to be here, so to see the solar eclipse while being here is double fun. It's awesome."
